I want to know where the following servers are located. Is it possible to find out?

63.99.212.51
12.43.228.126

I'd like to locate a server at the same facility as either server listed above. But I don't know where they are located and neither do the operators of the servers because of the resellers they use.

Jim

You could try doing a traceroute to the IP's as well as looking up the IP's at www.arin.net

Hope that helps.

I did a tracert but I couldn't figure out how to find out the colo facility from the output.

Greetings Jim,

just out of curiousity why do you want to know the location of the data center ? It could be a restricted area..Take for example: Somebody called us the other day and asked if they could check out our new facility. Sure, We called back told them to contact us @... for additional security checks, of course we need them to fax a copy of their state drivers lic. + passport and set up an appointment, etc..

ps: don't expect to go visit them unexpectedly :D they might not like it.

You should download a program called VisualTrace ( formerly NeoTrace.. McAfee bought em :disagree: ).

The physical location isn't important.

The servers in question are game servers. I want to see where these machines are colocated because their network connections are very good and that attracts a lot of users.

I run several game servers now and I'm trying to figure out how to get the best possible connection.

This appears to be an AT&T data center/connection that originates from Austin Texas.

Bear in mind, that all this means is that the connections backhaul to the listed cities. They could be originating from anywhere in the surrounding areas.
